Kevin Hoyos
footballer
Kevin John Hoyos Manzur (born 25 February 1993) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Miami FC.
Career
Kevin Hoyos was born in Fountain Valley, California. He is son of Argentine parents and brother of the also footballer Michael Hoyos. In 2006, he and his brother began to play with a youth club in their hometown in the U.S., the Irvine Strikers. After three years with the Strikers, both Hoyos brothers moved to West Coast FC, where they spent two years before transferring to Estudiantes de La Plata, the club with which both debuted professionally. After three and a half years with Estudiantes, Kevin left the club in July 2013 and joined C.D. Victoria in Honduras.
Personal
His parents were from Don Torcuato in Buenos Aires province. Hoyos, who holds dual USA-Argentine citizenship, is the third USA player to play in the Argentine top league, after Renato Corsi, who played for Argentinos Juniors and other teams in the 1980s, and Bryan Gerzicich, who played for Arsenal in 2006. His older brother, Michael, is also American and currently plays for OFI in the Super League Greece.

Why this record matters
The phrase “footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 24, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q15261275. The first chronological checks are 1993, 2006 and 2013.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
